The mare turns her head downward toward the foal at her side, the composition communicating something instinctive and unhurried.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCast Bronze, Hand-Finished\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece is cast using the traditional lost-wax method, a process that preserves every nuance of the original modelling: the curve of the mare's neck, the slightly tentative stance of the foal, the fine surface texture of coat and muscle. The \u003cspan class=\"highlight\"\u003edark bronze patina\u003c\/span\u003e runs near-black across the body, deepening into \u003cspan class=\"highlight\"\u003egreen verdigris oxidation\u003c\/span\u003e at the lower legs and hooves. That gradation is not incidental; it is the natural consequence of hot-cast bronze ageing into itself, and it gives the work an authenticity that painted or resin alternatives cannot replicate. At 500kg, the sculpture carries genuine physical presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt life-size scale, this piece commands substantial space. It suits formal estate gardens, paddock entrance settings, and landscaped grounds where a focal point of real visual weight is needed. The anchor-rod base system allows direct ground installation, giving the work a rooted, permanent quality. It is equally appropriate indoors in double-height atria, grand entrance halls, or private gallery spaces where the ceiling height and floor area can accommodate the full 180cm silhouette. The near-black and verdigris palette works well against natural stone, gravel, clipped hedging, pale limestone flooring, or dark timber panelling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHandmade to Order, Fully Customisable\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe offer a range of patina finishes beyond the standard dark bronze, including warm mid-brown, antique verde, and lighter natural bronze tones. Scale can be adjusted on commission if a larger or more intimate version is required for a specific setting. This subject also lends itself to bespoke paired commissions inspired by the work of wildlife sculptors working in the classical equestrian tradition.
